KRL Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Early on in the "mock draft season" everyone still had him being taken in the first round. But as time has gone by I don't see his name anymore. What round would you be "agreeable" with taking him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Notre Dame fan boys will say different but anything above a 6th is too high for a guy with that level of injury. It's entirely possible he never plays again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas2No99 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I'd go with a 5th-7th rounder. Most of the guys drafted in those rounds are projects anyway who are about 1-3 years from seeing the field anyway (Jarvis Harrison, Dakota Dozier, Josh Norman, Richard Sherman, Justin Bethel) so if Jaylon Smith were not to play his first year at all, he'd be in the same boat as Josh Norman was in 2012 but could be an AllPro by his 3rd or 4th year IF he does recover his old form. WIN WIN for the Jets: Low investment w/HIGH potential upside - not to mention motivation to recoup the MILLIONS that injury lost him from dropping out of the Top 10 picks in the 1st round (shame, poor guy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 4th round. This is where the medicals and your med staff are so critical. Unless they tell me straight out he will not come back from this 100% guaranteed I go for a 4th quite easily as a gamble on one of the best players in the draft. Shi* we picked guys like Milliner and mcdougle much higher who have done sweet tweet, may as well do so on a later pick and better player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCarl40 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Based on many mocks I've seen, there are still people thinking he'll go as high as the second round. He'll definitely be gone by the 3rd, but he'd be a solid pick for the Jets in that round or the 4th, if he falls that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Some team with a 3rd round comp pick will go for him if he has not gone already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenseed4 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Draftek has him going to SF in the second round (which is pretty high in the second). WaltersMock has him going to the Texans in the 4th round (right after our pick). But I agree with Beerfish, based on his potential alone, some team will swing for him late 3rd round (comp pick). Tank Carradine (torn ACL) was drafted by SF in the 2nd round, is just starting to do nothing for them. Marcus Lattimore (torn everything, plus nerve damage) was drafted by SF in the 4th round, and retired two years later. So it depends on whether he has nerve damage or not.

BklynJetsFan85 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Notre Dame fan boy here - 4th-5th round ....there's a chance he's out for the entire 2016 season, but there's no doubt that before the injury he was easily a top 5-10 talent. If we can steal him in 4th, we should because i honestly dont think he will make it out of the 4th. He's a guy you shelf for a year and then cash in the next and you dont have to spend much on him for another 2-3 years. http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/jaylon-smith?id=2555310 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I say we draft Jaylon Smith in the first round and then draft him a new leg in the 2nd round who says no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bealeb319 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I wouldn't go any higher than a 4th for him. Rounds 1-3 are usually players who have a decent shot at becoming an nfl starter and fourth and beyond are usually guys who are decent at one thing but might develop maybe. That said I feel like this is a relatively weak draft so I could easily see someone taking a shot at him earlier Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack48 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 If you have a lot more than 6 picks, maybe a team like the Jets takes him in the third or fourth. But.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Harris Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 If he'd def be a full go at 100%in 2017 then I'd consider him the first. Doesn't sound like it so 4th rd for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BklynJetsFan85 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 been looking at different websites mock drafts... see him going in the 3rd-4th a lot... if he's there in the 3rd i wouldnt be mad at the pick - he's top 5 talent when healthy... assuming the medical test and all go well... and his recovery looks to be positive... i say we take a shot at him in the 3rd if he even drops to us... we have 2 starters at the position right now so him having a year off won't be an issue... AND if he pans out - could be biggest steal of the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony The Wiz Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Nobody will know until doctors will give their final diagnosis right before the draft. If it isn't as bad as everyone is saying than he could go late 1st to early 2nd. If he wasn't injured he was the 10 best player in this draft.
